State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Charles A. Watkins III, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment, holding that the defendant’s theft of unemployment benefits does not fall within Guideline 3(i)(2)’s presumption against PTI admission because his conduct was not part of a continuing criminal business or enterprise involving multiple persons, and remanded the matter for the prosecutor to reassess the application without that presumption.
